Clonetics™
Animal Primary Cells are isolated directly from animal tissue. The primary neuronal cell culture allow to replicate the in vivo environment
more closely than cell lines. Lonza
offers a broad collection of cryopreserved primary rat and mouse neuronal cells. Some cell types, for example neural
cells, are hard to obtain. Using our primary neuronal cells acquired from mouse and rat
brains, however, avoids the prohibitive burden and restrictions regarding animal
availability and dissection. A typical challenge with isolating neural cells is
to ensure cells have been acquired from specific regions of the brain. Lonza does
extensive quality control tests to ensure the neural cells acquired are
tissue-specific for the regions of brains specified.

Benefits
of Using Cryopreserved Animal Primary Cells

More relevant results – Animal primary cells
are isolated directly from normal animal tissue, hence they are a more biologically
relevant cell model than cell lines.

Less time
and effort – No more tissue dissection and animal handling needed. Just
thaw and initiate your experiments.

Flexibility – Buy cells and archive
them for long-term studies. No more dependencies on
animal availability or fresh isolations.

Authenticated – Cells have been tested to show
comparable results to fresh cells. Thorough characteristic morphology and
staining tests are completed to confirm cells are specific to the tissue origin and cell type.

High quality – Lonza’s standardized production
procedures follow strict guidelines and meet high quality control requirements.

Testing

Clonetics™ Animal
Primary Cells are performance tested and test negative for mycoplasma,
bacteria, yeast and fungi. A Certificate of Analysis is available for each cell
type and lot
